Specifications & Consumer information
*1: Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel econ-
omy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure
in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.

3: If the API service SM or ACEA A5 engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL or ACEA A3.
*4: If the front/rear differential is submerged, we recommend that you visit an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to replace differential oil. Lubricant Volume Classification

Specifications & Consumer information
Recommended SAE viscosity
number Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has
an effect on fuel economy and cold
weather operating (engine start and
engine oil flow ability). Lower viscos-
ity engine oils can provide better fuel
economy and cold weather perform-
ance; however, higher viscosity
engine oils are required for satisfac-
tory lubrication in hot weather.Using oils of any viscosity other than
those recommended could result in
engine damage. When choosing an
oil, consider the range of tempera-
ture your vehicle will be operated in
before the next oil change. Proceed
to select the recommended oil vis-
cosity from the chart. Always be sure to clean the area
around any filler plug, drain
plug, or dipstick before check-
ing or draining any lubricant.
This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when
the vehicle is used on unpaved
roads. Cleaning the plug and
dipstick areas will prevent dirt
and grit from entering the
engine and other mechanisms
that could be damaged.

*1: For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity
grade SAE 5W-30 (API SM/ILSAC GF-4 (For 3.0L, 3.3L, 3.8L)/ACEA A5).
However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine
oil using the engine oil viscosity chart.
